“The current Federal Reserve strategy is apparently to wait for significant price inflation to show up in the consumer price index before tapering. Yet history tells us that you treat inflation like a sunburn. You don’t wait for your skin to turn red to take action. You protect yourself before leaving home. Once inflation really picks up steam, it becomes almost impossible to control as the politics and economics of the situation combine to make the urge to print irresistible. The hyperinflation of 1790s France illustrates inflationary monetary policy becoming unmanageable in an environment of economic stagnation and debt, and in the face of special interests who benefit from, and demand, easy money.”
